American Journal of Physical Anthropology (AJPA) is an active peer-reviewed academic journal published monthly by Wiley. Founded in 1918 by Czech-born anthropologist Aleš Hrdlička (1869–1943), it is the official journal of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AABA) and publishes scientific research concerned with the biological and behavioral aspects of human beings.

Each issue features original articles that contribute to an understanding of the adaptations, variability, and evolution of human beings and their living and fossil relatives throughout the order Primates. It also contains brief communications, articles on theory and synthesis, commentaries, technical notes, media reviews, and descriptions of available resources. Occasional special-focus issues are dedicated to a particular topic of interest.

In addition, two supplements issues are produced annually: the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, which publishes major review articles; and the Annual Meeting Issue, containing abstracts from the Scientific Program of the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Biological Anthropologists. 

The Internet Archive Collection contains microfilm published between 1998 and 2015.
